We have received congratulations on the appointments of the best of the year here at the WBC office from all around the world.

As you may recall the boxer of the decade was an appointment that went to the Philippine idol, Manny Pacquiao, for his repeatedly great performances against top-notch opponents.

The Philippine is now considered the best fighter in the actual world of boxing.

In terms of the Argentine Sergio "Maravilla" Martínez, he was considered fighter of the year for his sensational triumphs over Pavlik Kelly (middleweight world title) and Paul Williams. Everybody who watched the fights was impressed by them.
